But democracy also brings in people like Trump. Something more evolved  than democracy is needed. The country can't be wasting 8 years on Trump-like candidates.

Despite the fact that we're all corrupt as fuck, goodness and love still shine through. The other day I teared up while realizing how amazing it is that a concept such as charity organizations, for all their flaws, exists at all. It is beautiful that people give their time and money for others. Strictly speaking it is unnecessary for survival, in the most basic sense, even impedes it somewhat. In a complex system like humanity charities also became deeply intertwined with survival, but that's another matter. Point is, it's not all so bleak. "Without love it cannot be seen". That's the difference lens, then you circle back and realize that the corrupt and evil stuff is also Love and Good, that's the sameness lens. 

Humanity is advancing slowly but surely, just not within timeframes the human mind can deal with. Hundreds and thousands of years. In another iteration of this dream we may not have evolved past totally selfish, murderous apes however, stagnation is an aspect of consciousness like any other. Perhaps part of the reason we exist as humans is to realize things like this, hehe.

Once you lose it, it will very hard to get it back.

Income inequality is a huge problem which will drive society to fascism.

Sticking your head in the sand while oligrachs run wild is not a solution.

Are you gonna get in there yourself?

If not then you're being too complacent too.

You're not gonna do that because you're more advanced than where we are now.  

So there is no reason to be at arms.   Everything will turn out OK.

I don't need to become a politician to point out the deep problems with where things are headed.

There's deep problems now.  So let's measure it in four years.  You may be very right.  But look guys like.Musk have been coming on for years.  It's only natural that Orange reached full peak.  It's the natural progression to the next stage.  Just look at your spiral dynamics series.  This is a stage that we will pass-through.

I am sick of people normalizing and rationalizing such blatant and needless pervertry and corruption.

Truth is a bomb for your emotions.

In my case, I am utterly incapable of honesty until I am laid out on the appointed deathbed.

Until then, sorry but I am going to continue siphoning resources from those who truly need them to survive.

I am a parasite, a festering cyst, clinging to corrosive justifications and refusing to face the truth.

Lazy, inept, grotesquely self-centered, I hereby absolve myself of responsibility to set things right.

Only when I am ready to lie down and let go - ready to die to this pathetic excuse of an existence - will I finally be someone worth breathing air with.

Following that brief interlude, now back to your regularly scheduled programs.

It's a question of how much corruption does one want to tolerate?

If you somehow scale your corruption tolerance to Infinity, you seamlessly become literal God dreaming this precise reality!

No, oligarchy brings in Trump.

It's already an oligarchy. We do not have a democracy right now.

Elon literally bought Trump.

This is not the authentic will of the people - this is the will of the people twisted and contorted and manipulated by those in power.

People are dancing on strings.
